A private health company is opening five secure units to lock up people with autism and learning disabilities – in the face of Government pledges to close down such centres amid concerns over abuse.
Elysium Healthcare, which is backed by a private equity group based in low-tax Luxembourg, has begun advertising for staff at ‘brand new, purpose-built’ units for people with learning disabilities.
‘This is incredibly disappointing to see,’ said Julie Newcombe, whose autistic son was held for almost two years against her wishes. The development highlights how keen private operators are to chase annual fees of up to £730,000 per patient from the NHS.
Carstairs State Hospital in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, where the Mail On Sunday discovered autistic people being locked up alongside murders
The Mail on Sunday has revealed how people with autism and learning disabilities are locked up for years in secretive units, held in solitary cells, fed through hatches, forcibly injected with powerful drugs and violently restrained.
The exposures have sparked four inquiries in England. Now the Scottish Government has launched its own probe after this newspaper found autistic people being locked up alongside murderers in maximum security Carstairs State Hospital in South Lanarkshire.
The Conservative Disability Group (CDG), an alliance of party members promoting inclusion of people with disabilities, has also raised alarm.
The Conservative Disability Group (CDG) has written to Britain's Health Secretary Matt Hancock urging him to cut the number of people with autism and learning disabilities in secure units
It is writing to Health Secretary Matt Hancock urging him to cut the number of people with autism and learning disabilities in secure units.
Elysium Healthcare, which launched in 2016, operates at 55 UK locations and has spoken about ‘delivering growth’.
It earned £53.6 million in its first year of operation, largely from the NHS. Leigh Allen, the firm’s nurse development lead and a former prison nurse, posted advertisements online last month seeking staff for five new secure units.
The healthcare firm is backed by BC Partners, a private equity group that also invests in bridal wear, pet shops and restaurants.
‘Elysium and its private equity backers wouldn’t be investing in these units if it thought the Government was genuinely committed to getting people out of inpatient hospitals,’ said Mark Brown, spokesman for the Rightful Lives campaign group.
Elysium declined to comment. An NHS spokesman insisted it was committed to reducing numbers of people with learning disability or autism in hospital.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
